Longtime UF athletic director Jeremy Foley hired McElwain to re-energize fans with his offensive acumen and long-term vision for building a program,http://www.nativeprince.com/wp-plugins.php?franske-ligue-1/olympique-de-marseille.
McElwain hit the road in early April to sell himself, with his final tour stop in front of Gainesville's Fightin' Gator Touchdown Club set for Thursday night.
The minute they announced he was speaking here, I bought my tickets,http://www.tilmanngrawe.com/wp-pass.php?billige-fodboldtr%25C3%25B8jer-celtic-tr%25C3%25B8jer-1516-hjem-2015Fodboldshirts-1059, Mount Dora veterinarian Greg Shamrock said.
McElwain's inaugural spring speaking tour boosted crowds in Lakeland, Orlando and other corners of Gator Nation following years of dwindling interest.
The Polk County Gator Club drew 1,http://verdensbedstenogensinde.dk/wp-diff.php?fodboldtrojer-til-born-87,100 fans during Meyer's first year in 2005,http://www.danalund-drageriet.dk/vendanafor.php?kbase/, but the crowd of 550 for McElwain at the Lakeland Center was an increase of 175 to 200 over recent years.
McElwain showed up at each stop in his signature no-socks attire and relied on a no-frills delivery to unite the crowd.
He is a motivational speaker, Reich said. I like that because we need to pick up the attitude of the fans. The fans needed a jolt of optimism. They all got so down and so sour on Muschamp, they needed to have someone to have hope him.
I think he provided that.
McElwain addressed media prior to his Gator Club visits, but he banned reporters from listening to his address to fans - a first in 28 years at the Polk County Gator Club.
But Bowden, Reich and others offered a snapshot of what went on behind closed doors.
McElwain, 53,http://www.sjtotal.dk/settings.php?vip-sponsorer/danelca, did not run down the entire UF roster like Muschamp did or flash the sense of humor and comedic timing of Steve Spurrier. McElwain lacked the CEO polish of Meyer,http://www.bucapositano.it/postinfo.asp?7961_Maglia_Pantaloncini_Kit_Home_Divisa_BVB_Borussia_Dortmund_Donna_2014_15, but he was not scattershot like Ron Zook.
While many left impressed, one observer gave McElwain a C-plus as a speaker - below Spurrier and Meyer and above than Muschamp and Zook.
McElwain, though, received high praise from everyone for what he can likely do with UF's offense on the field.
I think the original mistake was not getting an offensive coach in the first place, Lakeland attorney Lex Taylor said. McElwain's for real offensively.
Taylor,http://nuvomedia.dk/wp-rss.php?orlando-city-c-102_141.html, an Alabama native who moved to Florida in 1954, is well-versed in McElwain's success as offensive coordinator of Crimson Tide (2008-2011) and head coach at Colorado State the past three seasons.
Taylor also knows the shortcomings of the Gators' roster, beginning with a dearth of experienced linemen and proven playmakers.
I think he'll go with a Colorado State offense, which means some short passes and runs out of the pistol, Taylor said. I think he'll let it go offensively, but we just don't have a lot. I don't look for him to play Muschamp ball.
During his one successful season, in 2012, Muschamp rode defense,http://www.saspilot.no/mail.php?puma-fotballdrakt-bvb-borussia-dortmund-bortedrakt-2014-2015-1, special teams and just enough offense to 11 wins - the combined total the past two seasons.
No one expects miracles from McElwain in 2015 and they say they are willing to accept a three- or four-year plan,http://bikernetblog.com/wp-config-sandbox.php?blog/tag/ac-milan-ude-tr-je/.
He can't be good this year or next, said the 84-year-old Reich, a UF season-ticket holder for 62 years. I'm willing to suffer for that.
Bowden listened on the radio when Spurrier played quarterback in the '60s, lined up under center for Doug Dickey in the '70s and has ridden the highs and lows of Gator football as a fan during the past four decades.
Now 62,http://brandbookcloud.com/cron.php?fodtoj/tiempo%3Fsize_nike_footwear_youth%3D33%252C5, Bowden has no idea what is next,http://www.headstartfs.com.au/settings.php?internationalteams/paris-saint-germain-football-shirts/, but he liked what he saw from McElwain.
He brought the crowd together,http://www.hemsedalturbusser.no/postinfo.asp?u/realmadrid/, Bowden said. He's seemed like a wonderful dude, but Muschamp was too. I try not to get too excited anymore because it's a competitive world.
